One Life in Eight Billion - 8B Re Life
A text-based life simulation. Let the years unfold, meet the turning points, and choose what matters to you.


Grow up, learn, work and build relationships from a different starting point. Pause whenever you like. At a life compass turning point, the next step is yours.
Your age, current event and time controls, together.

Agency, connection, curiosity and balance. Your compass reflects what you chose along the way. There is no perfect shape to chase, and no life to rank.

A life ends. The direction it leaves can stay. Keep completed lives on your device, share a life card when you choose, and export a backup for your collection.
Export a backup before changing phones or removing the app.
